Dear Daniel,
	The mirror is manufactured by Huger Germany, who produces the 
sport mirrors for BMW, MB(see example in European Car, issue August96), 
Opel and VW. Becker Import sold an M3 "look" mirrors in pair, Daniel. I 
don't know that it will fit for M3 housing or not. Also, the M3-style 
from Beckar Import is totally different from M3-OEM mirrors. It looks 
like the Mirrors of Toyota Celica(previous model) rather than an M3. In 
addition, it's smaller than the real one. I think this one of the reason 
that they made the convex-part in the mirrors.

Best Regards,
